for a reviewer!Quite frankly, I've never read any of your articles and with comments like that I can't see why I would start.

Oh dear - I'm devastated, but also mildly curious as to exactly which comment you disagree with and why my being a 'reviewer' is of any relevance whatsoever?
but since you asked...shows some concern(and promise);"Now however, like SACD and DVD-A, these technologies are being coughed up like a great big hairy fur-ball to be flushed down the toilet with the contempt they deserve"
In a position as a "reviewer" you have the power of making impressions on others that read you, I'd think you would have a more balance approach to your commentary.
"but since you asked...shows some concern(and promise);"Sorry to disappoint but I had my tongue firmly in my cheek when I said I was devastated, so looks like I don't show any promise whatsoever. :0(

You mean I should be more diplomatic and mentally edit my views before committing to paper?
The fact I'm a 'reviewer' gives me no power whatsoever and I'd advise everyone not to regard my or any other reviewers opinion as more informed than his own.
If you are familiar with a particular reviewer and his reviews mirror your own experiences with the equipment in question then of course it's possible to regard his opinion as being more valuable and in fact it can be invaluable if you can't listen to equipment which he's reviewed, but I certainly wouldn't put my experience or expertise above any non-reviewer who frequents this forum.What I wrote was indeed a 'balanced' opinion based on my own experiences, but the 'flushed down the toilet' comment was also I'm afraid said with tongue in cheek, as hinted at (not exactly in a subtle way) by the smiley. :0)
Now stop taking yourself and 'reviewers' so seriously, pour yourself a glass of wine and maybe even find one of my reviews so that you can get it on your screen and steadfastly refuse to read it. :0)
OK your forgiven! :0)
